Looking to put a set of either 265-60-18 or 275-60-18 tires from Firestone, Destination ATs.  Will look good with the wheel spacers giving a wider tracking.

That hot-rod modded 2003 V8 4WD Tundra to the left has SpiderTrax 1.25" Wheel Spacers, MotoMetal 17" 6-lug Alloy Wheels in Gloss Black wrapped in Goodyear Futera Triple Tread tires.

Surco Urban Roof Rack, WeatherTech Vent Deflectors, RoadKill.com's 1.30" Wheel Spacer on rear, OEM Side Molding Trim.

2003 Toyota Tundra Access Cab V8 4WD Limited on the left was my project before the LR.  My 17 y.o. son got the truck.

Side shot showing rear wheel with 1.30" spacer behind it.

Wife's Toyota Sienna XLE minivan on the right. The Dragon Lady.  Another story, another time.

Tire peeps out past the mudflap now that the Wheel Spacers are installed.

My oldest son and I just finished installing RoadKill.Com's 1.30" Wheel Spacers on the rear of the LR3. Top of tire is even with top of flare.

I rarely ever use the 7 passenger configuration, and leave it in the 5 Passenger Configuration. Rear cargo area with WeatherTech Mat, Dog Barrier, Auto Emergency Road Kit.

The dogs love the rear sunroof, the big windows, the rear AC and I don't smell them up front. That's nice after a day at the beach.

OEM Bumping Strip installed, removing masking tape that was used to line the trim piece up.

Interior enhancements include the WheelSkin Two-Toned Perferated Leather Lace-up Steering Wheel cover.  Makes a nice fat, soft grip.  eBay's Dashtrim Kit in Magma Burl for looks.  Garmin's Nuvi 755-T GPS guides me along the way, and I use a Parrot Bluetooth, since my LR3 didn't come with BT or NAV.  Dashmat's Signature Series Dash Mat protects the dash from UV rays and looks good too.  A Blend-Mount on the rear-view mirror holds my Passport Radar Detector for when I drive "Out-of-state", as detectors are illegal in Virginia.

Plan on seeing a ScanGuageII mounted some where in that pic in the near future.  It's a 3-in-One unit, with Guages, Code Scanner, and Trip Computer.  Had one in my Tundra and loved it.

Masking taped drivers side measuring 23mm at the front edge, 25mm where the two doors meet, and 27 mm at the back edge.

Installing Side Molding Trim.  You need a good mm ruler, marker, masking tape, and a little patience.

I was originally drafted, but spent 20 years in the Navy, but I served half that time with the Marine Corps.

In your face!  That's me, slight attitude.  That is not me taking the pictures.

What a beautiful behind!  She just needs the Swing-Away Tire Carrier and Curt Mfr. Hitch to complete her back here.

20% Window Tint back here.

I'll have to take & post another shot showing this angle now that she has her 1.30" wheel spacers on.  Noticeably wider stance in the after shots.

Note the Tundra in the background.  She was my project before the LR caught my attention.

My baby.  Just finished installing the passenger side OEM Rubbing Strip (Side-body protection molding).  Now it needs the OEM side step tubes and Rasta 4X4's complete skid plate kit and Rear Tire Carrier.  

I think some Firestone Destination ATs in either 265 0r 275-60-R18s are what's next, treads on the OEM GY Crapplers are almost gone.

Maybe I'd add the OEM RAI here on the side, if only it wasn't so expensive.  $500 for that piece of plastic air snorkel thingy is just outrageous.  You'd think I owned a Luxury Car or something....

Installing OEM Rubbing Strip (Side-body Molding). Finished passenger side.

This is also a good comparison shot of the before Wheel Spacers.  Compare this to the Passenger Side After Wheel Spacers.

Installing OEM Rubbing Strip (Side-body Molding). Before starting driver side.

Good shot to compare to pics of after the 1.30" Wheel Spacer were installed on the rear.

Also note the WeatherTech Vent Deflectors.
